Flickassist

Flickassist helps trade plate passengers connect with trade plate drivers to arrange lifts

Hoping to revolutionise the journeys of trade plate drivers in the UK, Andrew came to me with the idea for Flickassist in 2018: a trade plate driver look-up system that allows plater journey matching to easily arrange and offer lifts, utilising Google Maps API for geolocation and geocoding, and SMS notifications for drivers.

Working with another local developer, Gareth Griffiths, we designed and developed a bespoke WordPress website complete with performant WordPress theme and integral plugin. Utilising a proprietary matching algorithm the website intelligently pairs up drivers that are likely to cross paths during the course of their work enabling them to offer each other lifts between locations, helping them get to their next appointment without hassle.

The site went live in 2019 but getting it into the hands of drivers was unfortunately hampered by covid and associated lockdowns. Andrew is looking to drive forward interest in Flickassist in 2023 and beyond.

Why hire Jem for your WordPress project?

  • 5 5

    Jem has been unflinchingly helpful with every stage of the development of the Albion site, and has helped us keep it up to date and functioning effectively, solving problems as they have arisen. I am a techno-phobe, but Jem has been unfailingly supportive, helpful, always friendly and efficient. Also her rates seem really good value, but don’t tell her I said so.

    When I needed a new website, that’s where Jem came in and did a great job:

    – Quickly understood what I do for a living, where a website fits in my marketing and what kind of website would work for me (and what wouldn’t)
    – Built a website that does exactly what I need
    – Jumped in immediately when a hacker tried to do their worst
    – Taught this trembling technophobe to embrace WordPress when it all changed

    Jem is knowledgeable, positive, patient and a joy to work with. Highly recommended

    Jem’s knowledge and experience of the WordPress platform has proved invaluable to Source in the time that she has been working with us. Her ability to quickly and efficiently build a WordPress website from the visuals provided is second to none – as is her willingness to support our in-house development team with their WordPress projects. Source would have no hesitation in recommending Jem to anyone looking for an experienced WordPress developer for their project or agency.

    We needed a quick refresh of our website, which is heavily used by prospective and existing parents, staff and pupils. We needed to make sure that our site was flexible to appeal to all our end users and showcased our school. Working with Jem, I was able to quickly turn my thoughts into a brief, and then into a final product.

    Jem clearly knows what she is doing with WordPress, and her work showcases her considerable knowledge and no nonsense approach. I intend to use her again, when required, and would recommend her to others looking for a developer who knows WordPress inside out.

Why I love working with WordPress

I've been using WordPress since the heady days of version 1.0 and developing WordPress websites commercially since version 1.5 (released in 2005!)
